Let's put a few things in perspective.
I think it's unfair that this tripod gets bad reviews for a variety of reasons. First of all, this tripod is NOT intended for use with any kind of binoculars. Yes, Celestron is very wrong to recommend this tripod for use with their binos but common sense, a little research, and an IQ higher than 50 will tell you that, if you need a tripod for your binoculars, you need something that can be raised above your height.
I thought I was going to find a bunch of plastic but I was pleasantly surprised. This tripod is very well constructed and it is steady. I only bought this tripod to go with my grab n' go telescope (a 102 mm short tube refractor) for those week days when I wanted to observe. Don't get me wrong, I love my big scopes but during the week I don't have the time to mess with an equatorial mount so I need something I can press into service at a momments notice.
If you are new to astronomy and don't want to mess with an equatorial mount ...

I received this tripod along with my c130 scope for about $50.00 extra,This makes it a fantastic value for the money. At the regular retail of $89.00 I would still call it a good value.

While using this tripod for third time this weekend the central shaft sheered completely off and the scope was nearly dammaged, and would have been, if I wasn't under it to catch it as it fell. The tripod is sold and recommended for use with the Celestron C130mm MAK Spotting Scope. It appears it may have a design/manufactuting defect with the central load bearing shaft being constructed of die-cast metal that broke completely off under just ~11 lbs of load. I am currently persuing the warranty with Celestron.
Nice Tripod

Being new to Astronomy and viewing terrestrials, I feel this is a good versitle tipod.It is light enough to transport to remote places and strong enogh to take some abuse. I am a camper and enjoy taking my scope into the backwoods. Good value.
Optics Planet has a great support staff and stand behind their products. I am pleased with the purchase I have made from them.

I bought this tripod on special (@$99 in Dec 2007) as it was offered ar a discounted price with the Celestron C130mm Mak Spotting Scope I purched at the same time. On the third use a few days ago, and luckily while setting it up inside my house before taking it outside, the main shaft of the tripod completely broke, droping the 11 pound scope into my arms. The shaft which is part of the mount, appears to be die-cast metal and should instead be a stronger material. I am now in the process of requesting a full refund.
